Mechanical Designer

Description

Job Summary: Professional responsible for developing and analyzing engineering projects, ensuring technical feasibility, compliance with standards, and multidisciplinary support. Key Highlights: 1. Conceptual, basic, and detailed engineering project development 2. Application of technical standards and assurance of legal compliance 3. Multidisciplinary interface and technical support to teams 1\. Project Development and Analysis Develop conceptual, basic, and detailed engineering projects according to process requirements and engineering specifications. Perform structural, mechanical, material strength, fluid, vibration, or thermal calculations, as appropriate for the project. Size components, assemblies, and structures to ensure safety and reliability. 2\. Technical Feasibility Studies Evaluate the technical feasibility of proposed solutions, considering operational limitations, material properties, and process requirements. Propose optimized alternatives when necessary to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and simplify construction. 3\. Application of Technical Standards Interpret and apply relevant national and international standards (e.g., ABNT, ASME, ISO, API, NR’s). Ensure legal and technical compliance in all issued documents and calculations. 4\. Technical Documentation Preparation Create and review technical drawings, calculation memoranda, descriptive memoranda, and material lists. Generate 2D and 3D models using engineering software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, etc.). Prepare technical reports containing calculation justifications and adopted criteria. 5\. Multidisciplinary Interface Collaborate with engineers, designers, specialists from related disciplines, maintenance, and operations teams. Interpret requirements from other disciplines and incorporate them into the project scope. Monitor manufacturing, assembly, and commissioning processes when required. 6\. Project Verification and Validation Perform structural analyses using analytical tools or CAE/FEM software (e.g., Ansys, Abaqus). Validate results through simulations, tests, or field verifications. Assess loads, stresses, deformations, and associated risks to ensure integrity and safety. 7\. Technical Support to Operations Support operations and maintenance teams on technical issues related to the project. Propose continuous improvements based on monitoring and inspection results. Conduct periodic reviews of plant layouts, drawings, and calculations in response to field changes. 8\. Risk and Safety Management Identify risks associated with structural or mechanical failures. Ensure the project meets operational safety and structural integrity requirements. Participate in risk analyses (PHA, HAZOP, APR) where applicable to the project. 9\. Execution Monitoring Monitor the manufacturing and assembly of designed parts to ensure adherence to specifications. Qualify suppliers and ensure technical quality of materials and services. Propose rapid solutions for field deviations identified during execution. 10\. Innovation and Continuous Improvement Research new technologies, materials, and calculation methodologies. Suggest improvements to design standards, part libraries, and calculation databases. Implement engineering best practices and regulatory updates. **Minimum Education Level:** Technical Course
